Hi
I’m an idiot. Ive come away for work with all my diabetes kit, including test kit, lancets, basal and bolus insulins, jelly babies etc but have realised that I left my needles for my insulin pens at home.
I am on low carb and only use bolus once a day at most, but I take 7-8 units of Abasaglar before bed. I now realise I won’t be able to take it tonight. A nearby Boots pharmacy opens at 7am. Will I be able to buy needles to take some bolus in the morning? I have a formal doctors letter with my diabetes medication listed on it and photo ID.
I know I’m an idiot so please don’t make me feel worse by telling me! I’ve only been on insulin for a year having got late onset diabetes which has developed slowly.
I have my test kit... at what glucose level do I need medical attention? Thanks a lot for your help
